SIMMONS: The legacy of Canadian boxing great George Chuvalo continues (msn.com)

Used to see him sometimes around and Royal York Road and Dixon, I think it was, back in the 70's slogging along carrying a brief case. I think he was selling real estate. Looked very intimidating. Yes sir, I guess I do want to sell my house.
Anyway. Good guy. Just saw this article.

I saw him at a few fights I went to about 4 or 5 years ago. He looked in bad shape then.

He had a great career and hopefully he's in a good spot now in his retirement after his various tragedies.

I once told my gumba George Chuvalo that he has a promising acting career after the arm-wrestling scene in The Fly. George is currently at West Park Long Term Care Facility, he has dementia.

I love that movie. David Cronenberg. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.

I remember seeing him sitting in his convertible in front of the Friars tavern one night back in the day with his arm sticking out of his window. The biggest arm muscle I have ever seen.
